LOCATION. 

Bordentown,  the  seat  of  the  Institute,  is  a  beautiful  city  of  six  thousand  in¬ 
habitants,  on  the  Delaware  river.  It  is  one  hour  and  a  half  by  rail  from  New 
York,  forty-five  minutes  from  Philadelphia,  and  only  ten  from  Trenton,  the 
Capital  of  the  State.  The  Camden  route  of  the  Pennsylvania  Railroad,  con¬ 
necting  these  cities,  passes  through  Bordentown,  and  by  its  numerous  trains 
affords  convenient  access.  A  steamer,  also,  plies  daily  between  Bordentown 
and  Philadelphia. 

GROUNDS  AND  BUILDINGS. 

The  Institute  grounds,  located  on  Park  street,  comprise  five  acres,  a  part  of 
which  is  a  charming  forest.  They  were  originally  a  part  of  the  great  park,  of 
historic  interest,  laid  out  and  formerly  occupied  by  Joseph  Bonaparte,  ex-King 
of  Naples  and  of  Spain.  Across  the  street  still  remains  a  large  portion  of  that 
park,  bearing  evidences  of  its  former  beauty.  On  the  same  street  are  the  anti¬ 
quated  buildings  of  Madame  Murat’s  boarding  school,  and  the  house  of  Francis 
Hopkinson,  one  of  the  signers  of  the  Declaration  of  Independence.  Borden¬ 
town  is  also  the  seat  of  Bordentown  Female  College,  a  very  flourishing  insti¬ 
tution  for  young  ladies.  Its  location  is  one  of  the  finest  in  the  state.  The  In¬ 
stitute  is  only  five  minutes’  walk  from  the  depot,  post  office,  telegraph  office, 
bank,  and  churches,  yet  virtually  retired.  The  building,  so  desirably  placed, 
has  comfortable  room  for  sixty  boarding  and  forty  day  pupils.  The  building 
is  36x100,  and  is  four  stories  high,  built  of  brick,  heated  by  furnaces,  and  sup¬ 
plied  with  gas  and  hydrant  water.  Improved  a  year  ago,  it  is  now  the  most 
imposing  edifice  in  the  city. 

MILITARY  INSTRUCTION. 

For  promoting  a  vigorous  physical  development,  and,  at  the  same  time,  to 
train  to  an  erect  and  graceful  carriage,  and  cultivate  habits  of  promptness  and 
obedience,  all  cadets  participate  in  regular  drills  of  the  U.  S.  Tactics.  Its 
beneficial  effects  are  marked.  It  is  not  the  design  to  make  soldiers,  but  to 
accomplish  what  is  stated  above. 

The  “Guard  House”  and  other  harsh  modes  of  punishment  for  violation  of 
rules  are  not  resorted  to.  Young  men  are  treated  as  gentlemen  until  they 
prove  themselves  to  be  otherwise. 


16 


BORDENTOWN  MILITARY  INSTITUTE. 


The  State  of  New  Jersey  has  provided  arms  and  equipments  for  the  use  of 
the  Institute. 

This  department  will,  for  the  coming  year,  be  under  the  direction  of  Col. 
Wm.  E.  Murphy,  late  Col.  of  the  10th  Regt.  N.  J.  Yols. 

LECTURES. 

Besides  the  Scientific  Lectures  given  weekly  in  the  Institute,  arrangements 
are  made  for  a  popular  course  in  the  city  each  winter.  This  course  is  free  to 
the  students. 


LITERARY  SOCIETY. 

A  voluntary  Literary  Society  is  sustained  by  the  pupils  for  improvement  in 
composition  and  extemporaneous  speaking,  and  practice  in  conducting  public 
meetings.  A  teacher  gives  such  instruction  as  is  needed,  but  the  meetings  are 
conducted  by  the  cadets. 


READING  ROOM. 

In  the  Reading  Eoom,  pupils  have  access  to  daily  and  weekly  papers  and 
magazines,  that  they  may  inform  themselves  concerning  current  events,  and 
cultivate  a  desire  for  knowledge  of  the  world’s  progress. 

DRAWING. 

The  Mechanical  and  Architectural  Drawing  taught  is  of  a  practical  charac¬ 
ter,  and  trains  the  eye  to  view  objects  critically,  and  the  hand  to  execute 
neatly  and  skillfully.  Whatever  business  or  profession  a  young  man  may 
choose,  such  study  will  prove  to  be  of  enduring  value  to  him. 

RELIGIOUS  WORSHIP. 

The  school  is  Christian  but  not  denominational.  The  pupils  assemble 
daily  for  the  reading  of  the  Scriptures  and  for  prayer.  On  the  Sabbath  they 
attend  church  in  the  morning,  and  a  Sabbath-school  at  the  Institute  in  the 
afternoon. 

Visiting  the  pupils  on  the  Sabbath,  except  by  parents  or  guardians,  is  not 
permitted. 

OUTFIT. 

Each  student  will  bring  his  Bible,  and  should  also  have  a  dictionary.  He 
is  required  to  furnish  table  napkins,  napkin  ring,  fork,  teaspoon,  dessertspoon, 
towels,  toilet  articles,  clothes  bag,  bed  linen  and  blanket.  He  should  also  be 
provided  with  an  umbrella  and  overshoes.  Every  article  belonging  to  stu¬ 
dents  should  be  marked  with  their  full  name.  Articles  unmarked  with  the 
student’s  name  will  not  be  received  at  the  laundry.

The  cadet  suits  are  of  dark  blue  broadcloth  with  suitable  trimmings.  They 
lire  very  serviceable,  and  neat  for  all  dress  occasions.  They  are  made  to  order 
find  furnished  to  pupils  at  wholesale  rates.  No  other  suits  need  be  provided. 

Except  on  special  occasions,  ordinary  suits  may  be  worn  if  the  student 
jprefers. 

VACATION. 

'  As  the  resident  Principal  makes  the  Institute  his  home,  pupils  may  remain 
during  the  summer  vacation  and  receive  board  and  care  and  also  instruction 
if  desired.  The  Institute  and  its  surroundings  constitute  a  very  enjoyable 
place  for  boys,  and  some  make  it  their  home  for  the  entire  year. 

CALENDAR  FOR  1884-85. 

The  School  Year  is  divided  into  two  sessions: 

The  first  begins  Wednesday,  September  10th,  and  ends  December  24th. 

The  second  begins  January  7th,  and  ends  June  17th.

CrEneijal 


Many  patrons  of  the  Ladies’  College  expressed  the  desire  to  place  their  sons 
under  our  care.  Said  a  home  patron-"  We  need  a  school  for  boys  in  this 
city,  conducted  as  you  conduct  the  College.” 

To  meet  this  demand,  and  to  accomplish  more  wisely  the  great  object  of  a 

'  “'a  eilucatlon.  ,he  Institute  was  established.  The  first  year’s  experience 

"  y  f  <he  wlsdom  of  the  “terprise,  and  the  success  exceeded  our  most 
sanguine  expectations.  The  number  of  boarders  was  more  than  doubled  Urn 
second,  and  increased  the  third. 

Our  aim  is  to  provide  a  pleasant  home  for  the  boys  and  young  men  entrusted 
to  our  care-to  educate  them  in  the  mod  thorough  manner  for  college  or  for 
hie  and  by  all  possible  means  secure  in  them  correct  moral  habits 
To  subserve  specially  this  latter  object,  only  boys  of  approved  character  will 
e  admitted.  Vicious  or  dissipated  boys  or  boys  of  grossly  immoral  habits 
v.,1  no  be  received.  While,  under  other  circumstances,  we  would  be  willit 
to  do  all  in  our  power  to  reform  such,  we  must  not  subject  good  boys  to  their 
laneful  influence.  We  are  well  aware  that  this  restriction  may  retard,  some¬ 
what,  the  growth  of  the  institution  in  point  of  numbers,  but  it  will  be  but 

temporary  We  shall  gain  in  the  end,  when  parents  come  to  know  our  policy 
and  that  it  is  maintained.  1  011c^ 

We  would  call  attention  to  one  mod  excellent  feature  of  the  Institute.  Usually 
m,ktarg  schools  employ  only  male  teachers ;  we  employ  both  male  and  female’ 
They  live  in  the  Institute,  and  eat  at  the  table  with  the  cadets.  The  refining 
nfluence  of  such  a  corps  of  teachers,  mingling  daily  in  schoohroom  and  at  the 
table  must  be  most  salutary,  and,  in  onr  case,  accounts  for  the  superior  charac- 
ter  of  the  home-life  of  our  students. 

Our  patrons  will  notice  some  changes  in  the  Faculty
